DUI / Early probation termination

I had an outstanding experience with Lamano Law They helped me navigate a DUI case in 2022 and recently assisted with terminating my probation early and getting the DUI expunged. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently, and they made the entire process feel simple and stress-free. Attorney Ma...njula, who was assigned to my cases, was professional, responsive, and truly effective. I also want to give a special thanks to Molly, she was incredibly helpful, kind, and kept everything on track behind the scenes. I highly recommend Lamano Law to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense team.

Thank You Manjula and Lamano Law!

I had an excellent experience with Manjula and Lamano Law. I got myself into a whole heap of trouble with a DUI and I feared the worst. I noticed that they had a lot of positive reviews online so I wasted no time in giving them a chance to work on my case and I thank God everyday that I did. Manjula ...and Lamano Law helped me get my life back on track . They are encouraging, honest, professional, punctual, direct, and compassionate. They got me the best possible out come that I could have asked for. They saved me a lot of time, stress, and headaches, by taking care of all of my court dates/issues. They directed me with exactly what I needed to do to fix my situation and I truly appreciate everything they have done for me. I would definitely recommend Manjula and Lamano Law to anyone that needs help getting out of a bad situation. They have excellent reviews for a reason. Thank you Manjula and Lamano Law!
